Do I need an alternate transcript?

by deeptideepti » Tue Jun 21, 2011 12:04 pm
I have a 740 GMAT score. However, my academic history is poor. I went to Carneige Mellon Engineering and graduated with a 2.87 in Computer Engineering with several Failing grades.

Later, I completed my Master's part-time taking evening classes while working full-time. My GPA here is 3.7. However, I took 5 and half years to complete my part-time master's as I took classes on and off due to financial reasons etc.

Do I need an alternate transcript? If I do, do I need to take graduate level classes or undergraduate classes. Also, what kind of classes should I take?

Target schools - Kelley, Emroy, Darden, Kenan-Flager, Duke, Ross, INSEAD

Thanks a lot for reading my post and helping me.

not sure what you mean by needing an alternate transcript. sounds like you have a Masters and an UG--don't worry about the UG GPA because it was long ago and it was engineering. Your masters GPA and your GMAT will more than demonstrate your ability to handle your target programs. The key is writing compelling essays and casting a vision that captures the interest of the adcoms. Let us know if we can help.
